erase commands is always less than 50

μs. See also the

Sector Erase Command Sequence on page 14 section.

After the sector erase command sequence is written, the

system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6

(Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device accepts the command

sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is 1, the internally con-

trolled erase cycle started; all further commands (other than

Erase Suspend) are ignored until the erase operation is com-

plete. If DQ3 is 0, the device accepts additional sector erase

commands. To ensure the command was accepted, the

system software should check the status of DQ3 prior to and

following each subsequent sector erase command. If DQ3 is

high on the second status check, the last command might not

have been accepted. Table 6 on page 19 shows the outputs

for DQ3.

Table 6.

Write Operation Status

Notes:

1.

DQ7 and DQ2 require a valid address when reading status information. Refer to the appropriate subsection for further details.

2.

DQ5 switches to 1 when an Embedded Program or Embedded Erase operation has exceeded the maximum timing limits. See DQ5:

Exceeded Timing Limits on page 18 for more information.
